Additional Notes
The restoration included a few deviations from original factory specifications. Each deviation is consistent to with the original cars and can not be detected by casual enthusiast. Specific deviations include synthetic leather, Opalescent luster was added to the British Racing Green paint, New 15x5 Dayton wire wheels, and the radiator has been modified for more efficient cooling.

The deep green is difficult to capture in digital photographs. The appearance is green in direct sunlight and nearly black in overcast or twilight. There are several images that are our best attempt to show the variance in appearance.
